Pin it Party!

Do you pin?

I often wonder how I ever found recipes, new hairstyle ideas, had parties, applied my make up, discovered a new workout, or planned my ownwedding before Pinterest was invented. Now Pinterest is my go-to place for most everything. I am wholly and completely slightly addicted.

As usual, I am late to the party. Yesterday Lean Green Bean Blog hosted a Pin it Party for bloggers! If you are a blogger, the idea is to do a round up post of five images from your blog that you would like to share on Pinterest, then check out the links and pin the images from the other bloggers at the party. You can check out all the details and rules of Lean Green Bean Blog Pin it Party here.

If you are a reader, you can play too! Did you know that pinning images from your favorite blogs is a great and easy way to support them? Please check out the Pin Party to feed your Pinterest addiction and discover a ton of great new fitness blogs.

As a man I thought Pinterest was awesome, but I felt it had too many recipes and dainty dresses for a man to be caught "pinning" stuff. When I saw "manterest" I thought it was hillarious that men can "nail" stuff instead of pinning it, and "bump" each other instead of "sharing."

I am SO addicted to Pinterest! Since I am living here in Beijing and have a "temporary" life (hard to find ingredients, don't decorate my house, etc) I pin like crazy for my future "permanent" life. I know it sounds crazy temp vs perm but that is the only way I can explain it.I've followed you forever (in a non-stalker way:)...and I enjoy every single one of your posts!Jen @ Behind The Refrigerator Door

Thanks so much, that means a lot to me! I understand what you mean about pinning, I often pin these outrageously gorgeous home remodeling images that would NEVER fit into my current house...maybe someday. :)

Great post. You inspired me to add a board called My Blog and to start pinning some of my posts. I am ad http://pinterest.com/graceduke/ I also followed you so I can keep up with your posts! Thanks for the great idea.
